Probably an honourable, but showed signs tonight. I hate blaming umps but [censored] me. They give Geelong an eternity to get rid of the ball "play on" any 50)50 free kick Geelong

    So the difference basically is the two late goals we gave up in the first quarter. Give it your all Dees.

    Chandler has been huge

    Unlikely we'll win from here, we just waste too many entries into our fwd 50.

    I counted at least 3 certain goals missed due to our poor disposal.

    They’re putting their hearts into it. lack polish but can’t argue with the effort. still in it at 3/4 time is better than i was thinking.

    sharp very lightweight. offering very little

    He looks a bit one dimensional. And he might have speed in a straight line but isn’t evasive. Reminds me of Sam Blease, except not as quick maybe.

    Genuinely questionable umpiring - glad to see us lift now. Not wanting an honourable defeat.

    Didn't sight Henderson or Langford much in the third.


    Very proud of the effort. A few playing light weight but most are giving everything they have. Even if they mess it up they are tying to change he angle and run into spaces. But I don't know how much more bad F50 play I can take. Burning players running past or free, missing targets by 2-5 metres, kicking to the advantage of the defender when we have a one-on-one.

    We can do it from here, but I think our general sloppiness will shoot us in the foot.

    We CAN win this.

    Will we?

    No way, we should've scored 3 more goals in that QTR. Wasting our entries to our fwd 50.

    Great.

    Hopefully that's the last we ever see of Sharp in a Melbourne jumper.

    Jesus Fritsch

    He's playing better than previous weeks but still making the occasional meal.

    And sadly still kicking zero goals.

    How many for the year?

    One.

    I.mean it's the fwd line from hell.

    No firepower at all.

    Six goals.

    Move Tmac or May Goody.

    You can be as stubborn as you want but good luck being stubborn when your coaching from your couch at home mate.

    Won't be long now if we lose this.

    Do something.

    Your only staring down the barrel of unemployment.

    Stupid kick by gawn & even dumb by fritsch then.

    I know he isnt a mid fielder etc but is there any chance Max could kick a low raking kick up the line instead of attempting to seed the clouds almost every time

    Spargy pants on for Sharp. That'll get Dazz up and about!

    Edited by Demon Dynasty


    Why didn't Fritsch steady then.....seems to panic and just wants to get rid of the ball.

     

    Dees could pull off a narrow win here with a bit of luck ... have showed some positive intent and signs in the 3rd quarter ...

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
